Default A gasket for the fuel tap nut?

Hello,

I'm putting back pieces that I did not deposit.
Fat Boy 1449cc 2004
Do you need a seal (rubber gasket) in the large nut that hooks the faucet to the tank?
There is a throat between the two threads but I can not find a seal at this point on the drawings.
See the pics...

The fuel valve and the special nut

The throat inside the nut

If so, does anyone know the reference?

Thanks!

Mick

Thank You Yankee Dog,

I used the same web site to find parts.. but sadly, here the nut is different and I have no adapter (n°30).
Maybe, I have to examine older models with different nut for the fuel valve.

TY

Mick

See the white plastic ring on top of the threaded part? That's the gasket
